the woods, a pond and the listening moon.

i had waited for k to come home, it had been two weeks. two weeks of being here on the hill on my own, two weeks of watching over everything. i thought for sure once he got home i would get in the car and go somewhere. what happened instead is i realized i did not want to be anywhere else but here, that what i really wanted is to share this space with him. saturday morning he ran errands, even then i wanted to stay back so off he went and i went to explore. a light dusting of snow had fallen but had already begun its melt. i went off into the woods, took photographs and looked into tree holes, mossy rocks and leaves gently covered in snow. k came back and joined me. later on we took a walk to our pond and back into the woods. how i love the woods. back at the house i cleaned up the outdoors, treated the chickens and ducks to leafy greens and shared a snack with k. a few minutes later Joe the farmer arrived with a half a cord of wood. this made me happy for two reasons, knowing we will not run out, since i heat the house with it and the fact that i would end the evening stacking wood underneath the moon and a star filled night sky. a weekend that is balanced with things that must be done and things we want to do in the company of people we love. that night as i lay in bed i stared up through the skylight at the moon, she was lovely, i told her things and asked her for a few things, she graciously listened till my eyes grew heavy and closed.

How good it must be to have your Love back. It feels more like home when everyone who belongs in it are there.Your pond is so lovely. The tawny colors of February are beautiful.But my favorite picture is of K and the farmer in the truck. I love farmers so much.xo

which i understand.winter is so beautiful where you are and through your lens/eyes. i'm usually rather a lurker here, butthese are certainly the most beautiful photos i've seen this year on the blogland, i had to say it and thank you for sharing. the moon is a good company, so powerful too... in some cities some people can't even see her anymore. i found that sad.

Such a beautiful post and photos. I always look forward to your posts. Your lovely photos take me on a mini-vacation whenever I visit. Thanks for bringing a little calm into my life. Have a wonderful day!
